This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2000, and conflicting national standards shall be withdr
17、awn at the latest by May 2000.

18、bourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 1 Scope This standard specifies the dimensions and the method for sampling and preparing test specimens, together with the conditions for carrying out the bend test. The result of the test is also influenced by
19、the deformation behaviour of the tested material, the kind of welding process and the geometry of the sample. The test is applicable to plate and tube butt jointed assemblies made from thermoplastic materials filled or unfilled, but not reinforced, irrespective of the welding process used. It is not
20、 applicable to assemblies with a wall thickness 3 mm. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. Fo

23、rms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following definitions apply: 3.1 face bend the face corresponding to the open side of the groove is subjected to extension. 3.2 root bend the face corresponding to the root of the weld is subjected to extension. 3.3 side bend one of
24、 the faces of the test specimen corresponding to the cross section of the weld is subjected to extension. 3.4 initial angle “ I ” angle between the two sides of the test specimen above the rollers before the test. 3.5 final angle “ f ” angle between the two sides of the test specimen above the rolle
25、rs when the test is terminated. 3.6 bend angle “ ” angle calculated from the difference between the initial angle and final angle. 4 Symbols and designations Symbols and designations are given in Table 1.

28、ade from thermoplastics materials1 ) . The test consists of subjecting a test specimen to deformation by bending at a constant speed without reversing the direction of bending during the test. The bend angle (ram displacement) and fracture appearance provide a guide to the ductility of a welded join
29、t and hence the weld quality 2) . The final angle, f , (final ram position) is taken when either fracture occurs, a crack is visible with the naked eye or a maximum load is reached 3) . If no crack occurs the test is terminated at either a bend angle of 160 or at a ram displacement given in Table 2.
30、 1 ) The test may also be used to optimize welding conditions. In this case it is acceptable to use non standard test conditions: for example to decrease the test temperature or increase the speed of bending. 2)Simple manual test is described in annex A (informative). 3)The maximum load may not corr
31、elate with the failing of the welded sample.

For a thickness equal or above 30 mm the side bend test can be used, or the thickness of the test specimen can be reduced to less than 30 mm by machining from the side in contact with the ram end.

35、all be cut perpendicular to the welded joint and machined at least eight hours after welding. Each test specimen is marked so that its original position in the test piece can be identified. No heat treatment or mechanical straightening operations are carried out on the test specimen. The bead shall
36、be removed from the side in contact with the ram end. The bead shall not be removed from the side subjected to extension. Page 9 EN 12814-1:1999 7 Dimensions of test specimens and test arrangement The values for the dimensions of the test specimens and the test arrangement are given in Table 3. All
37、dimensions are given with tolerances in accordance with ISO 2768-1 In the case of tubes, the internal diameter shall not be less than 15 mm. The preparation of plastics test specimens is described in ISO 2818. The joint is situated at the centre of the test specimen. The diameter of the rollers is 5
38、0 millimetres. For tubes, the width of the test specimen shall be equal to 0,1 D nwith a minimum value of 6 mm and a maximum value of 20 mm.

Figure 8a - Parallel cutting Figure 8b - Radial cutting Figure 8 - Cutting of test specimens Page 11 EN 12814-1:1999 9 Mechanical testing Test specimens shall be conditioned to a temperature of 23 C 2 C, and unless otherwise specifi
42、ed, the test shall be carried out at a room temperature of 23 C +2/-5 C. The ram speeds for some relevant thermoplastics materials are listed in Table 4. The ram speeds tolerances shall be in accordance with ISO 5893. Table 4 - Ram speed for some thermoplastics Material Speed mm/min PVC-U 10 PP-H, P
43、P-B, PVDF 20 PP-R, PE 50 NOTE For other materials the ram speed shall be chosen to ensure that the test is terminated in about one minute. At least five test specimens shall be tested for each welded test piece. In the case of asymmetrical welds, at least five test specimens shall be tested for each
44、 face of the weld. If up to two test specimens do not achieve the minimum bend angle as specified in the requirements, two further test specimens from the same welded test piece can be tested at the same face. No more than two additional test specimens shall be tested. 10 Testing machine The rate of
45、 travel of the ram shall be continuous, uniform and in accordance with clause 9. The rollers shall be free to rotate. Page 12 EN 12814-1:1999 11 Practical determination of bend angle Several methods are possible to determine the bend angle: 11.1 Method 1 The indicator fixed to the ram permits direct
46、 reading of the initial and final angles as described in Figure 9. Figure 9 - Determination of bend angle with indicator 11.2 Method 2 The bend angle can be measured with arms which remain in contact with the free ends of the test specimen throughout the test, as described in Figure 10. In order to
47、determine the correct angle at fracture, the value shall be recorded at the moment of fracture. Figure 10 - Determination of bend angle with arms Page 13 EN 12814-1:1999 12 Test report The test report shall refer to this standard and it shall include at least the following information: - complete id
48、entification of the test piece and test specimens; - temperature of the test specimen; - temperature of the test; - the ram speed; - the method used to determine the bend angle; - the value of the bend angle required, if applicable; - the appearance of the test specimen following the test: visual ex
